Description

Benzoic Acid, 2-[(1-Cyanoethyl)Amino]-, (-)- (9Ci) is a chiral, non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative featuring a benzoic acid core substituted with a cyanoethylamino group. This specific stereochemistry and functional group combination make it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced synthetic chemistry. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and industrial R&D departments engaged in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty materials where precise molecular architecture is critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system or requiring specific stereochemical purity.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing advanced herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where the (-)- enantiomer may offer specific biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis, enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of chemical transformations.
• Peptidomimetics and Bioactive Molecule Synthesis: Incorporated into the structure of peptide analogs and other bioactive compounds to modulate their stability, receptor binding, or pharmacokinetic properties.
• Material Science Research: Potential monomer or additive in the development of specialized polymers with unique optical or mechanical characteristics.
